I don't think this is honoring to God. I don't think it is dishonoring, I just don't think that it is honoring because I capitalize them no matter who I am talking about. So, it goes back to this. It is where your heart and mind are at when you are doing this. Is it glorifying from me to do that? No. Is it glorifying for you to do that?

I agree with Matt, I do think this kind of debate makes Us look pretty silly. I just realized I only really capitalize pronouns for God when I'm referring back a few sentences or if I haven't mention Jesus by name at all in the writing. It's a pretty easy way to let people know you are or are still talking about God. I can’t decide so I usually capitalize every other pronoun when referring to God.

It's Christianese... like saying, "I want to be washed in the blood," or "Set me on fire, Lord." Really? That's pretty freaky to someone who doesn't know church-speak. I admit I do feel this compulsion to honor God when I write about him. But I believe he is equally honored in the artistry of creative writing and the (attempted) mastery of language. Just try to explain your capitalization of divine pronouns to an unbelieving newspaper editor. PS - I capitalize divine pronouns for the same reason Fowler did. :) I think this is one of those things that makes us look ridiculous to non-Christians.

]]> Comment on …on gay marriage by csreynolds http://aaronmccarter.wordpress.com/2008/11/11/on-gay-marriage/#comment-58 csreynolds Wed, 12 Nov 2008 05:56:48 +0000 http://aaronmccarter.wordpress.com/?p=133#comment-58 I don't think you can explain it any better than that and I couldn't agree more. If you're a heretic for that I'll sit in that boat with you. I saw an interesting interview the other day. A gay man in California voted against legalizing gay marriage for much the same reason. He said that marriage is a spiritual thing and he's not interested in it. He wants to be treated fairly but doesn't care if the church recognizes his relationships or not. He said the Christians can keep their marriage. Its funny that I agreed with him more than the preacher they interviewed right after him.
